quintal
Massexact by definition
The metric quintal is exactly 100 kilograms. It is not an SI unit but is used throughout agricultural statistics in India, France, Italy and much of Latin America, where crop yields are quoted in quintals per hectare.
Watch out: An older French quintal was 100 livres, about 48.95 kg, and Spanish and Portuguese quintals were near 46 kg. Historical records need dating before the number can be trusted.

Where the unit came from
The word travelled a long way: Latin centenarium became Arabic qintar, a hundredweight of variable size across the Mediterranean trade, and the metric system reclaimed the name for a round 100 kg.
